The whole mountain is my hunting ground

"Brother Wang!" Yong'an Village and Mangliutun are very close, and Wang Qiang and Chen Jinmin are both mountain hikers. Although they have never dealt with each other, they know each other.

Chen Jinmin knows that Wang Qiang is seven or eight years younger than him, but he can only call Wang Qiang brother.

"Brother Wang, I really didn't steal the knife." Chen Jinmin said with a crying voice, "I really picked it up!"

"Where did you pick it up?" Wang Qiang pointed at Chen Jinmin's nose and said, "If you want to tell the truth, I will talk to my brother-in-law and I won't send you a fence. Otherwise, we will send you in no matter what."

"Brother Wang, I'm telling the truth, I really picked it up, don't..." Chen Jinmin didn't know whether it was because of pain or fear, but tears came down anyway.

"Don't say useless things!" Zhao Jun interrupted Chen Jinmin and asked, "Tell me! Where did you pick it up?"

"In Jiguanalazi." As soon as Chen Jinmin said this, he saw Wang Qiang slapping him, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Brother Wang, don't hit me, Brother Wang, don't hit me!"

"Pah!" Wang Qiang slapped Chen Jinmin in the face and asked, "When did you pick it up?"

"It's been two months?" Chen Jinmin didn't care to cover his face and quickly answered Wang Qiang's question.

"It's been two months?" Zhao Jun frowned and asked again: "You picked it up, why didn't you sell it?"

Although copper is not as valuable as gold and silver, the price of copper is more expensive than aluminum and iron. Moreover, the copper knife is not practical at all for hooligans. Chen Jinmin got this copper knife, and it must be a problem if he doesn't sell it for money.

"I wanted to sell it, but the price of copper has dropped. My wife said that it will be two months before the price goes up after the Chinese New Year..."

"Pa!"

Before Chen Jinmin finished speaking, he was slapped by Wang Qiang again.

"You are just bullshitting me!" Wang Qiang pointed at Chen Jinmin's nose and said, "Why don't you tell the truth?"

"I told the truth..." Chen Jinmin complained, but was interrupted by Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang said, "What truth are you telling? Do you know where the Jiguanlazi is? It's been two months since I picked it up? I'm so pretty. Let's go and get you a fence!"

As he said that, Wang Qiang grabbed Chen Jinmin's collar.

Jiguanlazi is at Laoguitouzi Ridge, where Zhao Jun first met Yizier.

There is a tiger in Laoguitouzi, which is something that everyone who hikes in Yongan knows. Chen Jinmin said that it was okay two days ago, but two months ago, Yizier had not been caught by Zhao Jun. If Chen Jinmin knew there was a tiger in the mountain and still dared to go there, he would not be a hooligan.

"Brother Wang! Brother Wang!" Chen Jinmin held Wang Qiang's wrist with both hands, leaned back, and said: "It's really Jiguanlazi, it's a small Jiguanlazi!"

"Little Jiguanlazi?" Wang Qiang was startled, and then he heard Chen Jinmin say: "It's really a small Jiguanlazi, Brother Wang. I remember clearly that the door frame of Widow Wang is across the street."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang were both startled. According to the location Chen Jinmin said, even if it was not the place where they dug the treasure cellar a month ago, it was definitely not far away.

But it was not the same direction as the location where Zhao Youcai said the golden grapes and golden watermelons were suspected to be buried.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and Wang Qiang asked Chen Jinmin again: "Did you lie?"

"No, Brother Wang." Chen Jinmin said: "If you don't believe me, I'll take you there."

"No need to go." Suddenly, Zhao Jun interrupted and said: "We just want to see if you are lying. The knife fell into the mountains from my father. It has been lost for two or three years, and we haven't found it."

"What are you talking about me?" At this time, Zhao Youcai's voice came from behind Zhao Jun. He walked over and looked at Zhao Jun and asked: "What's the matter?"

"It's okay, Dad." Zhao Jun winked at Zhao Youcai, and Zhao Youcai waved his hand to signal. Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang held Chen Jinmin and dragged him to meet Hu Zhonghou.

Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms, and Zhao Jun and others surrounded them.

Zhao Youcai kicked Hu Zhonghou on the leg and asked, "Your name is Hu Zhonghou, right?"

"Yes, yes." Hu Zhonghou nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Zhao, it's me."

"My family is from Shenjiabaozi in Longfeng Mountain." Zhao Youcai confirmed Hu Zhonghou's information. After the interrogation, Hu Zhonghou did not dare to hide anything and directly revealed all his details.

After confirming with Hu Zhonghou, Zhao Youcai glanced at Chen Jinmin again. This old guy is easy to deal with. He has a family to support, so he can't run away even if he wants to.

"I tell you two!" Zhao Youcai pointed at the two and said, "If you dare to steal things from my house again, don't say that I will take you to the mountains and bury you."

"I dare not, big brother." Hu Zhonghou said so, and Chen Jinmin echoed, "I dare not, I dare not."

Zhao Youcai glared at the two and said "Let's go", Zhao Jun and others got on the car, and Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou slowly stood up and watched the car leave.

After returning to the village, Zhao Jun sent Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun and Jie Chen to the place, and then took Zhao Youcai and the father and son of the Li family home.

It was already past five o'clock in the middle of the night after working so hard. It was still dark, but two big lanterns were lit on the gate of the Zhao family's courtyard.

It should be Wang Meilan who lit them, waiting for Zhao Jun and his friends to come back.

As soon as he got off the car, Li Dayong said to Zhao Jun: "Jun, go back to the house and take a nap. Aren't you leaving at more than eight o'clock?"

Zhao Jun responded, and walked into the yard with Zhao Youcai holding an air gun and dragging a sack.

As soon as the father and son entered the yard, they saw the black tiger running from the backyard.

Today, the black tiger made a great contribution. When chasing the "criminal", it forcibly broke free from the chain and lost a circle of hair around its neck. It would hurt to wear the collar again, so Wang Meilan scattered it in the yard.

Anyway, there are no chickens at home now, so there is no need to worry about the black tiger.

Seeing Heihu, Zhao Jun hurriedly knelt down, hugged Heihu and rubbed him.

"Don't put the bear bile in the warehouse." At this time, Zhao Youcai came out of the warehouse with the bear bile and said to Zhao Jun: "Let's take it to the house."

With that said, Zhao Youcai handed the bear bile to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun was startled. This bear's courage was not heavy, so why did he instruct him to take it? But there was no way, he was his father. Although Zhao Jun was doubtful, he still reached out and took the bear bile.

"Here, give me that knife." After Zhao Youcai gave away the bear bile, he reached out and pointed at the copper knife held by Zhao Jun under his arm.

At this moment, the door of Zhao's house opened, and Wang Meilan's voice came from the room: "Come in!"

Wang Meilan hasn't slept since Zhao Jun and others left. At around four o'clock, Wang Meilan started making dumplings.

Yesterday, when Wang Qiang took the roe deer back, he said, dumplings for the horse, noodles for the horse.

Zhao Jun and the others are leaving today, and Wang Meilan must make dumplings for her son. As for the skins and the like, Wang Meilan didn't take them too seriously. Moreover, she also believed that Zhao Youcai and the others would be able to recover the things.

Hearing the dog barking just now, Wang Meilan knew that Zhao Jun and the others were back, but they didn't see the two men entering the house even as they waited.

When Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai opened the door and came in, Wang Meilan asked, "Did you catch the thief?"

"Caught." Zhao Youcai responded, and Wang Meilan asked: "Have you recovered everything?"

"Lan Na." Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "Not only did I recover the skins, bear bile, and air rifle, I also got you another good thing."

Seeing Zhao Youcai's flattering look, Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth. It turns out that he, Zhao Youcai, wanted the copper knife, and that was why he came out like this.

"What a good thing, didn't he steal it from our house?" Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai, disapproving of what he just said.

"That's not true!" Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "Lan, I have a surprise for you."

"Don't make trouble." Wang Meilan said: "I haven't slept well for half the night, so there is no surprise."

"Lan, what do you see here?" Zhao Youcai suddenly pulled out the copper knife from his cotton-padded jacket, but Zhao Jun felt that it would be more effective if he added the dubbing "dengdengdeng".

"Oh!" The moment she saw the copper knife, Wang Meilan really thought she was dazzled. She was stunned for about two seconds and then snatched the copper knife from Zhao Youcai's hand.

Wang Meilan took the copper knife in her hand, turned it over and looked at it twice, then looked at Zhao Youcai with surprise on her face and asked, "Where did you find it?"

"Lan, let me tell you." Zhao Youcai pulled Wang Meilan to sit on the pony and gave Zhao Jun a "get out of here" look.

Zhao Jun glanced sideways at Zhao Youcai and returned to the West Room carrying the semi-automatic on his back.

After listening to Zhao Youcai's plain talk, Wang Meilan probably knew how the knife came back.

Then, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Youcai, "Did Mr. Chen tell you where he picked up the knife?"

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned. He was not the one who interrogated Chen Jinmin. Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang had finished interrogating him. In front of others, Zhao Youcai didn't ask about the result.

This couldn't be hidden from Wang Meilan. Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed to the closed door of the west room and said, "My son knows."

Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai, got up and went to the west room to find Zhao Jun. Zhao Youcai followed closely behind.

Zhao Jun, who returned to the west room, had just taken off the cotton monkey and hung it up. It was already that time, and he was not ready to sleep.

"Son." Wang Meilan came in holding a copper knife and asked Zhao Jun directly: "What did that gangster Chen say?"

Zhao Jun hurriedly repeated Chen Jinmin's words. Wang Meilan was not familiar with the mountain farm, but Zhao Youcai was explaining to Wang Meilan from the side like a stranger.

"Lan Na, look!" Zhao Youcai spread out his left hand, traced his right hand along the palm of his left hand, and said, "He said that place should be in the same place as the treasure cellar we dug."

"That treasure cellar belongs to Widow Wang." This was what Wang Meilan said, and she also grasped the key to the problem. There's nothing wrong with it. The treasure cache belongs to Widow Wang, and the copper knife should be hidden by her father, Wang Dabanzhang.

But Wang Meilan then asked Zhao Youcai: "His father, last time you dug the place where the treasure cellar was, you told his grandma that the mountain grape... isn't that the same location?"

"No." Zhao Youcai took the initiative and said, "The place his grandpa mentioned is on the same main post as Widow Wang, at the bottom of Piangchazi. Where is this mountain..."

As Zhao Youcai spoke, he raised his palms upright and placed them parallel to each other. Then he raised his right hand and continued, "This is a single post."

Zhao Jun could understand what Zhao Youcai said at first glance, but women were different.

Although Wang Meilan didn't understand it, she understood it, which meant that her father still had a place to hide things.

Wang Meilan clicked her eyes and murmured, "Then why doesn't his grandma have an explanation?"

"It's just a precaution." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Maybe my grandma said it, but you didn't pay attention. Just like last time, I didn't ask, and my dad didn't tell me either."

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was startled, and then he saw Wang Meilan staring at him and asking, "What else did my dad say?"

"Lan Na, didn't I tell you everything the old man said?" Zhao Youcai frowned and said, "You asked me that, I really can't remember it."

While talking, Zhao Youcai took the time to glare at Zhao Jun and continued: "Could it be that the old man told one of you that you didn't realize (jiǎo) Jing'er?"

After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan fell silent. Her father was very talkative, but he was still trying to be mysterious.

"My eldest grandma can also do it." At this time, Zhao Jun said with a smile: "You said just hide these things together, and divide them into several places."

"Son, you don't know this." Wang Meilan explained to Zhao Jun on behalf of her father, "It was no longer safe at that time. The more carefully you hide these things, the better."

"Yeah." Zhao Youcai muttered in a low voice and said, "No one will be able to find what I hid."

When Zhao Youcai said this, he did not pay attention to Wang Meilan's eyes. Instead, he leaned slightly toward Zhao Jun and said, "What are you always talking about, Uncle Li? A cunning rabbit digs three holes. Your eldest grandma is that cunning rabbit. Haha...Oh!"

As Zhao Youcai was talking, Wang Meilan suddenly slapped him on the back of his neck. The slap didn't hurt, but it shocked Zhao Youcai.

I saw Wang Meilan holding a copper knife in her hand, pointing at Zhao Youcai and shouting: "Your father is a rabbit!"

"Hey, Mom!" Zhao Jun hurriedly pressed down the copper knife, and said with a wry smile: "Don't argue, he said my eldest grandma is a rabbit, you said my father is a rabbit. We are all one family, who can occupy who? Is it cheap?”

"He said it first!" Wang Meilan raised her knife and pointed it at Zhao Youcai. Zhao Youcai subconsciously ducked back, and then said hurriedly: "Lan Na, I made a mistake, don't be angry. I haven't done anything in the past two days. Now, I’ll go up the mountain and get the things back for you.”

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan put down the knife in her hand, then looked at Zhao Jun and said: "Son, if you are in this situation, you shouldn't let that gangster Chen go. You should let him lead us there and see where he picked it up. of."

"What's going on, Mom?" Zhao Jun asked with a smile: "If we don't let him go, how can we still provide him with food?"

Wang Meilan was startled, then heard Zhao Jun continue: "His home is over there, and he still has a wife and children. He can't run away even if he wants to. We can go up the mountain anytime and find him again."

"Then I..." Zhao Youcai was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhao Jun, saying: "Mom, that's what I think. We will go as usual today. When we are done, let my uncle go up the mountain..."

"Your uncle himself..." Zhao Youcai became anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly rushed to speak, but Zhao Jun interrupted him again and said: "Let him go to my elder brother Lengchang and find him for my third uncle. "

"Your third uncle..." Zhao Youcai secretly said something bad when he heard this. He hurriedly spoke again, but he did not grab Zhao Jun. He only heard Zhao Jun say: "Send old Xu Pao home that day, and pick up (qiǔ) what he gave me." My green skin.

After that, I sat at his house for a while, chatting with him and his wife, and mentioned that after my third uncle stabbed Qin Qiang, he could still talk to Qin Dajiang. I, Mr. Xu, just said that people who often run in the mountains feel numb when they see him. "

"That's okay." Wang Meilan said with finality, "Then let your uncle go and let him take the next step."

After saying this, Wang Meilan turned to Zhao Youcai and said, "Dad, you still have to be at home. This family can't survive without you!"

Zhao Youcai: "..."
